1st Day of School.....

Today was the kids first day of school. Trevyn is in 3rd grade, and Witnee is in First. The house is so quiet. Kiersten is in Kindergarten at a private place because she doesn't make the public school cut off. Her bday is Sept. 20. Next year, she will go straight to 1st grade. Anyways, needless to say, she is bored out of her mind so far. I hope her school starts soon. The kids were able to ride their bikes to school. We only live maybe 2 blocks away and there is a crossing guard. We thought they would be nervous, but NO! Trevyn has 1 neighbor boy in his class. As soon as they saw each other, they were off. Same with Witnee. She "forgot" to even say bye to us. She saw her friends and was off. Crazy how time flies. I remember when they all had their first day of preschool. We are officially out of the baby phase and into the sports, activities, and more sports phase. Erik will be going to school full-time as well. He starts next week. Sometime life takes you places you never thought would happen. All for the good (I guess!). Anyways, here are some pictures of the kids.

McCall trip....

We went to McCall, Idaho, with Erik's family. The drive was awful. I couldn't believe how long it took, but it was worth it when we got there. I love McCall. I had never been there, but it is beautiful and there is lots to do. It has white sandy beaches everywhere. The kind of sand that you just run your toes through. We would just beach the boat and play. You can hike, bike, boat, swim, whitewater raft, play tennis, etc. We stayed at the Trendwest Resort, which is fabulous as always. We saw people that we hadn't seen for many years. The weather was good for the first 4 days and rainy for the last 3. That was okay. We boated, swam, biked, played tennis (which the kids loved), went for bike rides, played games, walked through town, and had the most amazing ice cream cones. When we were walking through town, there was this tiny little alley that said Ice Cream Alley with an arrow pointing to the back of the alley. We went back to investigate and it was for real. The single scoop ice cream cone was HUGE! They had flavors of every kind you could imagine. Needless to say, they were amazing. I, of course, had huckleberry ice cream. My favorite. Anyways, the trip was really fun. It was fun getting together and seeing everyone. The kids of skiied, tubed, and Trevyn wakeboarded. He is getting good. I would go back there for sure. I didn't take a lot of pictures but here's a few. Now, I have to get ready for school to start. Crazy how fast this summer went!
